A Streetcar Named Desire :: Drama

A cable tramway Named Desire A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most recognised plays intheatrical cinema, lately. I saw it very recently, when the productionwas held in the reputable National Theatre, Central London. Thereis also the classic hit movie which is based upon the play.
